Tales From The Press Box with Jamie Carragher | Covering Liverpool

- Hello everyone, and welcome to Episode 3 of Tales From The Press Box.
And it’s a belter, this one. After the success of Episodes 1 & 2 with Paul Gorst and James Pearce, I thought I’d better up the ante and draft in somebody with a Champions League winners medal!
Jamie Carragher made more than 700 appearances for Liverpool as a player, but now he is just as known for his straight talking and in-depth analysis on Sky Sports, where his sharp eye, sharper tongue and his partnership with Gary Neville has made Monday Night Football an essential watch.
In this episode, Jamie discusses that transition from playing into punditry, and why looking back he can see he was always destined for a career in the media. He reveals the advice he was given when taking the plunge, the initial struggles to strike the right balance (and get to grips with the technology!) and his constant battle to stay on top of new tactical trends in the game.
He lifts the lid on a few awkward encounters he’s had with players disappointed with his criticism - including a memorable one in Australia with Daniel Sturridge - and explains how he deals with the scrutiny, and the criticism, which comes with being a well-known TV personality.
He also opens up on THAT talkSPORT phone-in with Adrian Durham, provides a fascinating insight into his weekend work routine, and reveals his all-time favourite MNF guest. I reckon you’ll be able to guess that one, to be honest!
I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it. Thanks to Jamie for being so generous with his time, and thanks to the guys at The Anfield Wrap, particularly Ash, for lending their space and expertise. It’s enormously appreciated.

Carragher is without question the most knowledgeable pundit there is when it comes to football. Could listen to him all day, and I’m a United fan.
Also the most knowledgeable when it comes to pissing off Neville. It's effortless
Thought he would go into management
As a Liverpool fan, I’ve heard Carragher interviewed a lot and journalists tend to tread the same ground. Thought this was a great angle for the interview; really enjoyed it.
Thanks mate, I appreciate that ❤️
Thoroughly enjoyable that! Almost like 2 mates chatting. Great insights to Carra’s career. Thanks Neil. Great stuff
❤️ thanks mate
Carra is a proper player… he has time for everyone. … not stuck up but a real scouser , nothing has gone to his head. He has never forgot we’re he has come from … not many like that today ..,
Definitely 1 of the more relaxed and informal interviews and all the better and more interesting for it. And - no notes! Completely natural unprompted questions. Great watch, sub'ing.
Superb insight into his job at sky plus a great set up Neil look forward to the next one
I'm only 10 mins intp this ..
... And how great is this
He talks a good game and he plays one too
This is a fantastic interview - great job as the interviewer. Although the noise that Jamie's cough makes at 32:11 was deeply unsettling.
What a great insightful interview, great to see a different approach to this interview.
Finished watching all now
Here's 2 guys who love their job
Dead right mate! Thanks for listening ❤️
Brilliant interview
Excellent Pod, was really impressed how you both bounced off each other in the convos too.
Really enjoying these interviews. Hopefully plenty more to come 🙏👍
❤️
20 mibs in Talk sport ! Haaaa. Excellent. Its flowing. Thanks Neil and Jamie
Great interview Neil, really enjoyable watch.
Very good. Very polished and interesting questions. Thanks
❤️
Carra’s had this cough for about 2 years now 😆
Brilliant this 👏
Thanks mate ❤️
Great interview lads - keep these coming!
Thanks great insight
Good interview that.
❤️
Excellent! 👏🏻👏🏻
The tickets were sold out in Australia! I was there, not the best performance, but the fans didn't let the club down!
Best pundit by a mile and I support United
He's good isn't he
Audio needs cut out when he coughs
As he says, sometimes it's nice to keep a mistake in 👀🤣
And the 13mins of ads for the 15mins of ht. They rush through the 1st half highlights in a min. Complete joke now
🙇♂️
Sad that he worships Sky so much. It's a deeply cynical organisation, and everyone who works for them has made a Faustian pact.
Breathe
Weirdo
I’d have a Sky flag sticking out me todger if they paid me £2m a year
What is " Faustian pact " ?
What does it mean?

No question on how thick neat and tidy hair is a requirement in the media?👦
Durham is a bitter person who tries to sensationalise everything…..I hate when he is on Talksport and I tune out
I only turn on the TV for games the minute the whistle goes, then off again at HT, then on again until the final whistle. I cannot stand the pantomime 'banter' that Sky stages. Pity that Carragher is so intoxicated with it.
